Last year BD visited NZ and in one innings they had an openning stand of 160+ in 44 overs. This can be inspirational. That even by 20 year olds visiting this sort of conditions for the first time. So if they apply themselves properly big scores is not hard to get. I am not sure why Tendulkar is worried. This will be his sixth/seven visit there.

Hope this will be a keenly contested tour.

India has a very bad record (recent )against the NZ .

Added to that NZ usually prepares the worst of pitches for the Indians.I am not sure that they would do that this time around as the Indians (I think) have a better seam attach than the NZ'landers.

Would think India should win this series , the only think against it is its recent (espcially the last tour where they did miserably lost a 4 Test series 2-0 and ODI's 2-4 ) history
